Chatfield, Ohio - Detoxification

People who are physically dependent to drugs or alcohol and want assistance will first go through detox before getting other treatment services in drug rehab. Detoxification is basically the process of the drug being removed from one's system, which is often uncomfortable and may hold risks if not executed in a setting which can provide appropriate support and medical intervention as required. Detox services are offered at either a professional drug or alcohol detoxification facility or a drug rehabilitation facility which can appropriately oversee and present medical supervision for men and women who are just coming off of drugs. Detoxification services often include insuring the person is as comfortable as possible while detoxing and going through drug or alcohol withdrawal, delivering proper nutrition and making certain the individual is receiving proper rest, and supplying supplements and medicine as required to make the detoxification process as smooth and safe as possible. The person in detox will sometimes be encouraged to take part in some variety of physical activity such as walking, yoga, etc. At a drug detox facility or drug rehab facility which can provide detoxification services, the individual will have detoxification staff at their disposal around the clock to assure that any problems are resolved as quickly and safely as possible.
